11 Plus Verbal Reasoning

Type U - Letter Relationships

With this type of question you are given a sentence comprising of two pairs of letters, with the first pair relating in some way to the second pair. There is also a second group of two pairs of letters, with the second pair left blank.

You are required to work out the relationships between the letters of the first two pairs of letters and by using this relationship to determine the missing pair of letters from the second group.

You are normally given an Alphabet Line to assist with these type of questions, 
but ensure that your child can write one from memory.
